Peak below the ocean

You said
You will write to him
Brute though he was
But he loves you
You loathed him
You ignored him
But he lived in a corner of
Your heart
Alone
Still
When you are about to forgive him
He is ready
To lit the fire
In which you can burn
All the hateful poems
U will go all over
In search of love
But you have difficulty
In sitting on the edge
Of lake
You must swim
Or sink
But sitting on shore
Of a sea is not your destiny
U are like a fish
Which must search for newer
And newer depths
Of the ocean
Else you can’t define yourself
But who asked you to do so
Just remained
Undefined
Unassailed
Peak
Of a Mountain
Which is below the sea

outlived hopes

withered roots
nourished fungi
some mushrooms grew on decayed desires
some recycled the toxins
oozed by the fountain of frustrated expectations
pray, o, traveller pray
this world can only feast on
outlived hopes

Will wait

Not every prayer is answered
And that is your grace
O kaali
Else by now
All the oceans had
Swallowed
All the mountains
And there would not be left a place
To stand and pray
Be as discrete as you are
And may be
That is the answer
To my prayer

Mad world, sane sky

Mad world, Sane sky
Why hold the bounded rationality
Against the free fly
Of the dreams uncastled
Sleepy nights
Heavy head
Don’t complain
Cloudy cushion
Can absorb all the plight
Of a passionate peak
Of a mountain
Bent at the feet of
A moody misty cloud

A little more effort

The boat would not have capsized
If a little more effort
Had been put in by the
Boatwomen
But she was in rush
To reach the other end
And didnt care
If others on this side
Remain stuck here
But
Waves came to rescue
They flooded the banks
There was no difference any more
Between here and
There
